"Are you sure?" Zheng Changming stared closely into Fang Shaohua's eyes. This news is too important to the Zheng family. Although the Zheng family's power in the state capital is pretty good, everyone wants to go further.
Therefore, the Zheng family has always wanted to operate in the capital, but they just suffered from the lack of suitable or willing people to help them.
But three years ago, someone suddenly came to the capital to inquire about special watermelons. The Zheng family tried their best to find that store. With this opportunity, the Zheng family also kept searching everywhere for what they wanted, but there was no clue.
.
The news mentioned by Fang Shaohua gave Zheng Changming great hope. Even if it was just a little clue, his family could establish a relationship with the family in Beijing.
"Uncle, the person I sent is very reliable. Although he couldn't get one, he overheard people in Zhuyuan saying that one watermelon is worth ten taels of silver." Fang Shaohua said with certainty.
"Then we'll stay together forever." Fang Youwei let out a long breath.
"Yes." Zheng Changming also nodded, with an obviously relaxed expression on his face.
"Having said that, I also remembered it." Mrs. Zheng also had an expression of sudden realization at this time, "I also lived in that garden. At that time, I just thought the food there was good and tasted very good. I thought it was due to my state of mind.
, now that I think about it, there are indeed some unknown things in it.”
"Oh, what's the difference?" Zheng Changming vaguely felt that there was a greater opportunity in front of him.
"Brother, do you still remember that very rare special white rice meal you had at the prefect's place?" Zheng Changming nodded after listening to Zheng's words.
"I can't forget that taste even if I want to!" He couldn't help but sigh. Specialty white rice is also a rare good thing in the capital, and the annual output is limited. Even if the volume has been large in the past two years, it has spread to the prefecture.
There are still very few people in the government.
That is to say, the prefect had some connections in the capital, and in order to show off, he treated them to a meal.
"You mean, this specialty white rice is also available in Bamboo Garden?" This is too unbelievable.
Zheng Changming's eyes widened and his breathing became heavy. He thought he came here to solve the mess caused by his nephew, but he didn't expect that he would encounter such a big surprise.
Legend has it that these two things are only sold by Muzue Trading Company in the capital, and they produce and sell them themselves.
But since this bamboo garden also has it, does that mean that they actually sell some seeds to others? As long as they pass this news to the family in Beijing, will their own benefits be less?
The more Zheng Changming thought about it, the more excited he became, and he wanted to go to the state capital immediately to write a letter and send it to the capital.
However, being cautious, he still managed to suppress the joy in his heart. "Shaohua, these days, you have to be more honest, and you must let people keep an eye on the people in the garden, but you must also be careful not to let them find out.
This news is very important. It is good for us all."
After giving Fang Shaohua a serious warning, Zheng Changming talked secretly with Fang Youwei for a while, then quickly said goodbye and left.
On the one hand, the Zheng Fang family wants to find out that Zhuyuan does have these two things. On the other hand, they also need to find out the true origin of the owner of Zhuyuan. This will make it easier for them to report it to the family in Beijing, and there will be more benefits.
Available.
At this time, the Zhuyuan was bustling. No one thought that a change was about to happen here.
"Is there a clue?!" When the owner of a prince's mansion in Beijing heard the news from his servants, he got excited and accidentally knocked over the tea cup on the table.
"Back to Lord Marquis, there is news from below that someone was found growing this special watermelon in Song County, and there are also clues about the special white rice there." The butler lowered his head and told the person sitting on top of the news in detail.
This person.
"Send someone to investigate immediately." The Marquis solemnly ordered, "Be careful. Don't let others know. Don't reveal the slightest bit of information, do you understand?"
"Yes." The butler took the order and went out.
"Haha, finally there is news. Huh, let's see how long that little Muyue Trading Company can continue to be rampant." A proud smile appeared on Mr. Hou's face.
Not long after, many people walked out of the Hou Mansion, all of them dressed in simple clothes. And they quickly blended into the crowd, and they were indistinguishable in the blink of an eye.
There are only three characters on the plaque on the gate of the Marquis Mansion: Marquis of Hui'an.
"Mom, Xiao Qi has been out for such a long time. I'm always worried. Do you think you should send someone to bring him back?" Mrs. Zhao came to Mrs. Lin's house again, with a look on her face.
He looked anxious and begged her for mercy.
Not only did her son not discuss it with her, but he also left home for more than two months. Ms. Zhao was more or less worried. Of course, this was not the most important thing. There must be someone protecting her son, but she also had to be with her husband.
Only by showing enough attitude in front of others can she increase her favorability in her heart.
Although it has been more than two years, Mrs. Lin has always been lukewarm towards Zhao and Lin Qingxue. Seeing that Qingxue will have her hair in a year or two, if Mrs. Lin doesn't speak up, how can she, a mother-in-law, go out and replace her?
What is my daughter's plan?
What's more, Mrs. Lin has a lot of suitable candidates for her grandson-in-law. No matter what, she has to find a few and let Lin Qingxue and herself choose.
"If you've had enough fun, you'll come back naturally." Old Mrs. Lin said calmly. In the past two years, she had seen clearly the interaction between Lin Zhu and Lin Yuewei. Not only did Lin Zhu fail to pass Lin Yuewei's
The Lin Mansion received little benefit, but often sent things suitable for Lin Yuewei to use or eat.
Perhaps it was because Lin Qinglan had spoken for Lin Zhu, so everything Lin Yuewei had must have been hers.
This made the other ladies in the Lin family very envious.
After accidentally discovering that the things Lin Zhu sent were hard to buy on the market, Mrs. Lin had to bring up the Lin Zhu issue with Mr. Lin again.
The answer she got was still that she agreed that her grandson and granddaughter would continue to associate with Lin Zhu. This made Mrs. Lin very confused. However, Mr. Lin was very strict and never asked the reason.
"But, mother, this will delay Xiaoqi's studies too much. My daughter-in-law is really afraid that he will not be able to go to school in the future." Mrs. Zhao looked like a loving mother.
Mrs. Lin did not speak. In fact, she did not expect to be gone for such a long time. However, the news from the people who served Lin Yuewei said that Lin Yuewei not only did not fall behind in his homework, but also made progress in his studies.
So this is no reason to take him back.
After sending Mrs. Zhao away, Mrs. Lin was also thinking about whether to wait for Mr. Lin to come back and discuss with him how to bring Lin Yuewei back.
Mrs. Zhao returned to her yard listlessly, with a very bad expression on her face. She used to dislike Lin Zhu, but now she simply hates her.
Her son had been abducted by her, and she still had no way to bring him back. It was really frustrating.
Mrs. Zhao was very angry and had no servants to serve her. She sat alone in the room for a long time until Lin Shurui came back.
"What's going on?" Lin Shurui was a little puzzled when he entered the house and found that there was no servant except his wife.
"Ms. sir, you are back." Mrs. Zhao raised her head, her eyes a little red and swollen.
"What's wrong with you?" Lin Shurui frowned and looked into Zhao's eyes that had obviously been crying.
"I'm fine." Mrs. Zhao wiped her eyes carelessly with a handkerchief. "You haven't eaten yet. I'll tell my servants to get it."
Mrs. Zhao hurriedly stood up, but her legs were numb from sitting for a long time, and she staggered and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Lin Shurui was quick to catch her.
"Don't worry about whether you have food or not. Tell me to my husband, what is going on?" Lin Shurui raised his voice. "Here comes someone."
"Yes, Third Master." Zhao's personal maid immediately responded.
"What happened to the third lady? How did you serve?" Lin Shurui asked sharply.
The personal maid was also startled by Mrs. Zhao's appearance. She was obviously fine when she left, so why did she become like this now? She quickly knelt down and said, "Back to the Third Master, Madam Xu trusts the Seventh Young Master too much.
"The maid thought of what happened today when Mrs. Zhao went to Mrs. Lin to beg for help but to no avail. She took a peek at Mrs. Zhao's eyes and replied smartly.
"Miss Xiaoqi?" Lin Shurui didn't believe it. "Really?" He looked at Zhao in his arms.
"Ms. sir, Xiao Qi has been out for a long time." His voice was choked with sobs. He seemed to be speechless.
"You go down." Lin Shurui waved his hand and asked the maid to go out.
"My father-in-law sent a message two days ago that he will send someone to Song County to handle some things in the next few days, and then ask them to bring Xiao Qi back." Lin Shurui suddenly felt that his son had been away for too long.
"Really?" Ms. Zhao raised her head, looking like her hopes were about to come true.
"Of course it's true, and depending on what my father-in-law means, I might gain a lot from this trip." Lin Shurui more or less guessed something from the words of Marquis Hui'an.
"What's the harvest?" Mrs. Zhao was very concerned about things that were good for her family.
"We can't say yet." Lin Shurui shook his head. "After a while, you can go and ask your father-in-law in person."
Mrs. Zhao ate some food with Lin Shurui's persuasion. Lin Shurui went to the house of his mother, Mrs. Lin.
He discussed with his mother and father that someone was going to Song County and hoped to bring Lin Yuewei back. After all, Lin Yuewei was the one who agreed to go out for fun. If he wanted him to come back, of course, he would need their approval.
"Why are the Zhao family going to Song County?" Mr. Lin is different from Mrs. Lin. He naturally has more things to think about.
This action of the Zhao family was unusual, so he was a little wary.
"It seems to be about business." Lin Shurui didn't think there was anything wrong with talking to Mr. Lin. Although it was still his guess, it would be beneficial if the Zhao family could succeed with the Lin family. "I heard that there is a special
News about rice varieties.”
"What?" Mr. Lin's heart moved. How could he not know whose special rice belonged to him?
"It is said that it was found in a small garden. I don't know if it is true or not. My father-in-law has sent someone to verify it." Lin Shurui said happily, "If it is true, my father-in-law will definitely be able to get that kind of seed. Such a thing
Come, let’s see how long that Muyue Trading Company can continue to be rampant.”
Mr. Lin's heart sank. He knew exactly where Lin Zhu and others went. If the news was really leaked from Zhuyuan, it would definitely bring unexpected trouble to Lin Zhu. (To be continued.)
